run-tests: stop ignoring venv-installed packages This will allow test dependencies to be installed within a venv, instead of tampering with sys/user sites. One thing to note here is that the `VIRTUAL_ENV` path takes precedence over system-site, unlike when run directly with an activated `venv`. For example, `sys.path` as viewed from a feature test in `hghave.py`, when running `hghave vcr` directly with an activated `venv`: sys.path: [ '/home/jenkins/hg-committed/tests', '/usr/lib/python38.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.8', '/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/home/jenkins/test_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages' ] vs `sys.path` from the same feature test, when run by `run-tests.py` with this change: sys.path: [ '/home/jenkins/hg-committed/tests', '/home/jenkins/hg-committed', '/home/jenkins/hg-committed/tests', '/home/jenkins/test_venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python38.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.8', '/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/home/jenkins/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages' ]

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
